Sensors for AAL Ã¢â‚¬â€œ what is actually missing?

Abstract

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) relies on continuously monitored and reliable data describing the vital status, the situation and the behavior of the elderly. Wearable, on-body sensing, computing and communication systems will outperform the Ã¢â‚¬Ëœambient intelligenceÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ approach, at least in the near future. Future wearable systems consist of a Ã¢â‚¬ËœSmart PhoneÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ as the personal computing and communication hub, and on-body sensors, mainly integrated in the clothes
